Wrap Around Care and Occasional Boarding

Wisbech Grammar School has a flexible extended wrap-around care option for Senior School pupils.
This service provides families with greater flexibility while further enhancing the experience of both day pupils and boarders. We offer wrap-around care, together with access to elements of our boarding provision, on a flexible basis for all Senior School pupils.
We hope that this additional provision offers practical support to busy family schedules, while maintaining the high standards of care and pastoral support that are central to life at WGS.
Please email office@wisbechgrammar.com for more information.
